First Class for 2 - 2nd week of March 2024 My wife and I opted for the first class dinner evening experience as a romantic weekend getaway over the labour day long weekend. Overall, it was a nice experience - something different. The service was impeccable from the moment we stepped onto the platform. My wife was pregnant and they were very accommodating and thoughtful. We had time to roam, enjoyed a beverage before we were explained about the journey from Georgia - she was a wonderful hostess throughout our trip. We stopped on two platforms and had time to walk around. I had read the reviews about the food, however the quality and amount of food we received was nice, fresh and was complimented nicely with the drinks list. The views - it was a lot of peoples backyards and wetlands - but nice. We chose March and the night experience due to our situation and availability, I was aware that it might get dark early and I was right. The train left at 7, and it was dark by 830pm. If you are going to book after mid Feb for the night experience - keep this in mind. Overall a nice experience, however I do think that it is a bit pricey for the first class experience - it is solely due to the fact that you are dining on a moving train. Thank you to the Q Train team!!

Booked the 1st class dining with pairing wine, the 5 course menu with the pairing wine was an awesome idea. The food are all very good. We had a welcome wine once we arrived the venue. The waitress whom serve us all were top notch service. We will definitely will go again.

What an amazing experience. From arriving on the red carpet and getting your photos taken with your glass of champagne. To your 1st class private compartment, where we were waited on with a delicious five course meal. The train was amazing, as was the service, food and the accompanying drinks. I highly recommend taking the Q train. You won’t be disappointed.

What a lovely way to spend the evening. The train was magnificent and it was a pleasure to be a part of history. The staff were efficient, friendly and always available. The view outside the train was beautiful until the sun set then romantic once darkness descended. The food was mostly excellent (one out of five dishes was disappointing). Every dish was something that we would order from an a la carte menu. The beer was served icy cold, the cocktails freshly made and the whiskey on ice as I like it. Three and a half hours was probably a bit long to sit at a table with one person. Conversations have limits. We did enjoy listening in to our neighbours loud conversations during the lulls in our conversation.

This is a unique way to celebrate special occasions and every part of the three hour journey was professional executed by the staff. At all times we were keep up to date with what was happending. The wine selection with wach of the 5 courses was extensive and tasteful. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this service to everyone.
